CAM 2002: Conference on Applied Mathematics, October 25-27, 2002, Edmund, OK

DMS奖摘要奖#：0209374PI：西蒙斯，夏洛特机构：俄克拉荷马大学项目：应用数学项目经理：凯瑟琳·马夫里普利斯标题：CAM 2002：应用数学会议2002年，一个关于应用数学的会议，将于2002年10月25-27日在俄克拉荷马大学校园举行。会议将集中讨论应用数学在电信、电气和计算机工程中的两个相关领域：小波/信号处理和纠错码。因此，这次会议将引起工程师和物理学家以及数学家的兴趣。会议的一个主要重点是“编码理论”：大部分信号处理是关于信源编码的，而纠错编码理论是关于信道编码的。小波是目前信号处理中应用最广泛的工具。例如，最近采用小波滤波器作为JPEG-2000图像压缩标准。小波包是一种用于压缩和恢复几乎任何图像或声音的数学简写，FBI和苏格兰场已经使用小波包将他们的指纹文件压缩到更易于管理的大小。CAM2002将促进数学家、计算机工程师和信号处理器之间的跨学科交流，也就是说，这次会议将把理论家和实践者聚集在一起。此外，会议将为来自该地区的学生(本科生和研究生)和教职员工提供一个机会，分享他们的研究成果，并与小波/信号处理和纠错码领域的世界级专家互动。纠错码提供了将语音、音频、图像和视频可靠地转换为数字内容的手段。深空通信、无线电话、高速数据网络、互联网以及光盘播放器、硬盘驱动器和高速调制解调器等产品都必须使用编码和数据压缩来提高速度和可靠性。联邦基金将主要用于为学生、最近的博士获得者、初级教师、女性和其他在数学、科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体提供旅行支持。日期：2002年5月14日

DMS Award AbstractAward #: 0209374PI: Simmons, CharlotteInstitution: University of Central OklahomaProgram: Applied MathematicsProgram Manager: Catherine MavriplisTitle: CAM 2002: Conference on Applied MathematicsCAM 2002, a conference on applied mathematics, will be held on the University of Central Oklahoma campus on the weekend of October 25 - 27, 2002. The conference will focus on two related areas within applied mathematics with applications to telecommunications, and electrical and computer engineering: wavelets/signal processing and error-correcting codes. As a result, this conference will be of interest to engineers and physicists as well as to mathematicians. A major emphasis of the conference will be "coding theory": Much of signal processing is about source coding while the theory of error-correcting codes is channel coding. Wavelets are now the most applicable tool in signal processing. For instance, wavelet filters were recently adopted as the JPEG-2000 image compression standard. Wavelet packets, a mathematical shorthand for compressing and restoring virtually any image or sound, have been used by the FBI and Scotland Yard to compress their fingerprint files to a more manageable size. CAM 2002 will foster interdisciplinary communication between mathematicians, computer engineers, and signal processors; i.e., this conference will bring together theoreticians and practitioners. Moreover, the conference will provide an opportunity for students (undergraduate & graduate) and faculty from the region to share their research with each other and interact with world-class experts in the areas of wavelets/signal processing and error-correcting codes. Error-correcting codes provide the means for the reliable transformation of speech, audio, images and video into digital content. Deep space communication, wireless phones, high speed data networks, the Internet, and products like compact disc players, hard drives, and high speed modems make essential use of coding and data compression to improve speed and reliability. The federal funds will be used primarily to provide travel support for students, recent doctoral recipients, junior faculty, women and other underrepresented groups in mathematics, science and engineering.Date: May 14, 2002
